Some instructions to authors

To all
We are writing mainly to sophisticated non-economists. Even then the description of methods and data must be precise enough so that experts know how we have done the study. Text boxes and footnotes are handy.

To authors of thematic articles
Each thematic article should start with 3-5 pages introduction, where the current situation and challenges are presented and discussed from the point of view of the Nordic welfare model. Comparative material (Nordics + EU15 average) is necessary. Iceland should be included whenever data and other sources allow.

The summary should include policy conclusions and assessment of the results also from the general Nordic perspective.

Send your texts also to Lars in order to get the story consistent from the beginning.
